Raise our voice whenever any attempt to disrupt the peaceful environment of Kashmir is made as silence favours the preparator.
Government has brought Kashmir back from chaos and confusions which otherwise was part and parcel of Kashmir in past. After the abrogation of so-called special status things have changed altogether and a new dawn of development is visible. Government is in a position to give citizens of Kashmir a sense of security and it worked hard to eliminate fear psychosis among the Kashmiri people perpetuated by Pakistan through different means and techniques. This is the reason Kashmiris are able to celebrate the Independence Day and other national events. For the first time Kashmir valley witnessed major events to hoist the Tricolour. Those parts of Kashmir valley which were considered hotbed of militancy and stone pelting were found surprisingly wearing a festive look as several celebrations took place there during the campaign “Har Ghar Tiranga”. The unconventional public response to the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign in the valley brought excitement in the power corridors and hence further many more steps are taken for the welfare of Kashmiris. The pace of development and peace in the region getting momentum with every passing day. Countless Major and small developmental projects are under process in Kashmir valley now. Youth are being provided special attention and several steps have been taken to address their issues. The participation of youth in Army requirement drives and their enthusiasm in Agniveer scheme is an indication that new generation of Kashmir is ready to sacrifice their lives for their nation. These days Kashmir is witnessing huge tourism influx from across the globe and country. Unprecedented development is taking place in Kashmir and a new dawn has started providing endless opportunities to Kashmiri people to grow. Much needed support and helping hand is being provided by Government of India to Kashmiris. Education sector is in full swung and youth are touching the new heights to showcase their worth. All is going well in Kashmir. Peace, development, communal harmony and brotherhood is what Kashmir is going through these day .
Kashmiri society should remain cautious and keep vigil on the elements having nefarious designs to keep Kashmir boiling. As a Kashmir we want to make it clear that Pakistan should no more expect that Kashmiris will die for them and will fight for their vested interests. The killing of unarmed civilians by Pakistan will no way help it to revive the terrorism in Kashmir. It is unfortunate that more than a dozen civilians have been killed in the last few months, including cops,panchayat members, members of the minority community and non-locals. This killings gives rise to a big question. For whom is this all being done? It certainly is not for us.
Therefore we should raise our voice whenever any attempt to disrupt the peaceful environment of Kashmir is made as silence favours the preparator and it helps the enemy to do whatever fulfils their nefarious agenda. The illicit drugs being supplied by Pakistan ruins youth of Kashmir which is a clear proof that lives of Kashmiris carry no value to them. Drugs not only serve as a source of income for terrorist organizations but also act as a tool for recruitment and radicalization. Furthermore, the drug trade serves as a means for terrorists to establish networks and forge alliances with criminals having similar agendas. The nexus between terrorism and the drug trade in Kashmir not only fuels violence and instability within the region but have potential to contribute to the global drug trade. The influx of drugs into the region has led to an increase in addiction rates among the local population, further exacerbating social problems and undermining the fabric of society. Drug addiction not only weakens the physical and mental health of individuals but also fuels criminal activities, including thefts and robberies, as addicts seek to finance their habits. The interplay between terrorism and the drug trade creates a vicious cycle of violence, as the profits from drug trafficking are funnelled back into terrorist activities, perpetuating the cycle of instability and insecurity in Kashmir.
People of Kashmir were used and misled by the enemy but Kashmiris have realised now that they have been exploited. The participation of Kashmiris in different events and activities conducted by the government is an answer to the enemy and send a clear message to them that the soil of Kashmir will never be allowed to be used further. Therefore, Pakistan should get this massage and should stop its propaganda to mislead the world community. The neighbour Pakistan should allow Kashmiri people to live in a peaceful atmosphere where Kashmiris would avail a chance to uplift its human resource. The lack of support from Kashmiri society towards Pakistan’s deep state is frustrated while seeing the peace and development in Kashmir. Every citizen want Pakistani society to grow and develop but statistics and figures provide a clear indication that Pakistan will never ever grow. Pakistan should focus in its own issue and should upheld human rights in Baluchistan.
